Summary:

"Streets & Patterns takes up the challenges of how to create better urban places without compromising the basic functionality of circulation and access. To tackle these issues, the book looks behind and beyond immediate policy rhetoric and design conventions, and revisits a range of first principles from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, to inform an integrative framework that may be used to underpin today's streets-oriented urban design agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
